MEDFORD — St. Mary's jumped on top early and never let up behind the superb play of senior guard Kade Benton in a 56-43 win over Ashland in nonleague boys basketball action Friday at St. Mary's High School.

Benton recorded a double-double in front of the home crowd with 19 points and 13 rebounds while also adding five assists for the Crusaders (5-2), who have won five in a row since starting the season with consecutive losses.

Cole Harding won two events and swam a leg for two victorious relay teams to lead the Ashland High boys swim team in a nonleague three-way dual meet against North Medford and Cascade Christian on Friday at the Southern Oregon University pool.

Harding won the 200-yard individual medley in 2 minutes, 15.81 seconds and the 100 freestyle in 51.97 to help the Grizz boys beat Cascade Christian 119-20. North Medford beat Ashland 149-89 and Cascade Christian 172-15 in the other boys duals.
